Ayn Rand

600,000 girls go missing in India every year- aborted before they are born; killed at childbirth; abandoned in infancy, allowed to die of mal-nourishment or lack of timely medical care.

As a part of A-Z Challenge, the blog will host a photograph of a woman who survived, along with a quote by a famous (or not so famous) woman. 

...a much greater hunger...

"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat."
Mother Teresa

... pretending day by day.....

"We can't go on pretending day by day 

That someone, somehow will soon make a change"

~ Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie

How much of human life.....

"How much of human life is lost in waiting?"

 ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
